The only other clue they gathered was that wild magic cannot be cast by hell hounds, and goblins never set foot on a ship.
There are five other clues to be found to work out the culprit, method and location. These will be obtained by completing the following Adventure:

Once you have worked out the culprit, method and location, add the number associated with each of these. This will give you a number in the inclusive range 0 to 215, which will be referred to as x.
Work out the answer to: x * 2107 - 13
Refer to this number as: abcdef
The real coordinates are:
